Cause of edema in Diabetic Nephropathy

Kidney disease or kidney damage that occurs in people with diabetes is called Diabetic Nephropathy. This condition is a complication of diabetes. Causes of bilateral pedal edema may be:

-Due to immune damage of patient’s body, permeability of the whole body’s capillary wall will increase and the fluid in plasma permeates into tissues, resulting in edema.

-Protein leakage due to damaged glomeruli.

-Hypoproteinemia because of protein leakage can cause decrease of effective blood volume. It will secrete more secondary aldosterone and anti-diuretic hormone and renal tubule will reabsorb more water and sodium, which will cause edema.
